Yeah really. How about one pvp and one pve?!? Again Blizzard does something extremely annoying, like what the hell?

Why do people not like PvP servers? Why fracture the fresh start player base?

Why is it hard to understand why people might not like pvp servers? If I want pvp I’ll do a bg.

If I have an hour or two to quest or farm or whatever, I want to do that without worrying about getting ganked. I like pvp but I like to choose when I do it.

Where are you guys even seeing this?
Because 99% of the interactions on PvP servers amount to griefing these days. Once upon a time there was fun to be had and each server only contained a manageable percentage of “villains” (i.e. sociopathic griefers), but the classic playerbase is like a bouillon cube of toxicity. I was a world PvP fanatic from vanilla through every expansion I played thereafter, but after playing classic vanilla on a PvP server I will never touch another pure PvP server in any game again. No one is actually interested in competition or meaningful interactions. Or rather, it’s a low enough percentage that the holistic experience on a PvP server is completely ruined and not worth suffering through for those scant, scattered handful of highlight moments.

This one I don’t even get, like it’s natural, pve and pvp. Do they have any idea at all what they’re doing?!?

What server did you play on in Classic 2019?
Sulfuras. I saw little evidence that it was any different on any other server. In the vast majority of cases it was worse as Sulfuras was at least nominally balanced for most of vanilla. And of course it just got even worse from there moving into TBC by all accounts from every server.
Over on the TBC forum

Because if you look at the history of wow servers and even on current classic PVP servers are always the most popular as far as I know the non-sanctioned servers are all PVP
This is the best decision for an overall balanced and healthy server population was I going to play on a PVP server now but it doesn’t bother me that I will have to.

They are the most popular because they are 99% one sided servers where absolutely 0 world pvp occurs. If they did 1 PvE server it would make 0 difference.

They are so popular that they had to use War Mode bonuses to get people to flag for it and made all servers PvE. They are so popular that the two biggest classic PvP servers are 99%+ one faction. People SAY they want PvP, but they really don’t. History has shown this over and over.

Well that’s good for you, but me and many other people don’t want to play on a pvp server. Everyone was expecting pve and pvp servers, if anyone says they weren’t I would say they’re lying. It was natural to expect at least one of each, but they decide to screw over a portion of their players yet again. And they let us know a few days before prepatch. It’s mind blowing to me, Blizzard are either stupid or they just don’t care at all about what their players may want.

The threads. They are everywhere.

People who don’t want PvP will just stick with their regular servers now. Adding PvE servers doesn’t fracture anything, because people won’t roll on the new PvP servers anyway.

I would much rather play a PVE server this go around as I’ll have a couple less experienced players with me and I would rather focus on PVE out in the world instead of some sweaty clown griefing.
I have always levelled PVP and every single one of my toons is on PVP server. If we.dont have PVE servers come Tuesday I’ll be very disappointed.
